/*Here is the Federal Register notice waiving local institutional
review board requirements for d4T testing.*/
National institutes of Health
Waiver of Local Institutional Review Board Requirement; d4T
(Trade name Stavudine)
AGENCY: National institutes of Health, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The National Institutes of Health is announcing the
waiver of the applicability of the title 45 CFR part 46
(protection of human subjects) requirement of local Institutional
Review Board (IRB) review for the protocol AI455-900 under the
"Expanded Availability of Investigational New Drugs Through a
Parallel Track Mechanism for People with AIDS and other HIV-
Related Disease," known as "Parallel Track" (57 FR 13250).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Diane Aiken, Building 31. room 513-59, Office for Protection from
Research Risks, National Institutes of Health, 9000 Rockville
Pike, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 ((301) 496-7005).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 46.101(i) of title 45 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, the Secretary of Health and
Human Services (HHS) waived, on December 8, 1992, the HHS
regulations requiring local IRB review for the investigational
new drug d4T (trade name Stavudine) under the Bristol Meyers-
Squibb Company's protocol AI455-900. Protocol AI455-900 makes the
investigational drug d4T available through parallel track, that
is, d4T will be available in one of two comparison doses to
patients who have not responded to or who are intolerant to AZT
or ddI and who are ineligible for the controlled clinical trial
of d4T. This parallel track protocol was reviewed nationally by
the AIDS Program Advisory Committee (APAC) and, following
consideration of the human subject protections, was recommended
for approval. Because of the APAC's careful review and
recommendation for approval, the Food and Drug Administration
also waived its requirement for local IRB review and approval of
this protocol.
The HHS regulations requiring local IRB review and approval apply
to any institutions, conducting this research, which have
Multiple Project Assurances on file with HHS/Office for
Protection from Research Risks, in the absence of this waiver.
Although with this waiver, local IRB review is not mandatory.
Each local IRB retains the option of reviewing the protocol.
Dated: February 2, 1993.

Director, NIH
